PHILIPP ADAM SCHNEIDER, OF MENTZ GERMANY.

ILLUMINATION-LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 622,275, dated April 4 1899. pp at on fil d September 10,1898. Serial No. 690,618. (No modtl.)

To CI/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIPP ADAM SCHNEI- DER, residing at Mentz, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Illumination-Lamps, of which the follow- My invention will be understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, showing an embodiment thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section through the lamp, showing the sameas a hanging lamp; Fig. 2, a similar lamp, as a stand-lamp; and Fig. 3 is an isometric view of the illumina tion-lamp shown in Fig. 2, the same being a stand-lamp-that is to say, a lamp which stands upon its own base and is specially adapted for use upon a window-sill, where a series may be employed placed side by side.

In the drawings, a is a cup or vessel, preferably polygonal in horizontal section, which cup contains a candle b, of any suitable coinbustible material, provided with a wick c.

d is a plate secured to the bottom of the cup at. J

e is an outer cup surrounding the cup at.

A lantern-body f is interposed between the two cups and, as shown in the present instance, is frictionally held between said cups, and consists of leaves of different colors for the different sides of the lamp. This lanternbody, however, may be made of any desirable material; but I prefer to make it of transparent paper or dilferent-colored gelatin or the like. The lantern-body may be perforated, if desired, to obtain greater effect and may exhibit alternate dark or light sections.

The parts just described constitute a standlamp-that is to say, a lamp which will stand upon its own base, as shown in Fig. 1. Hit is desirable to produce a hanging lamp, the cup or is provided with a loop 9, to which a hanger g is attached. This hanger is preferably formed of wire and provided with a downwardly-extending bend g, which extends over the edge of the lantern-body, at the corner thereof, and down into the interior of the lamp.

It will be readily observed that the illumination-lamp just described maybe suspended by the hanger.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In an illumination-lamp, the combination of an outer cup e an inner cup (0, a lantern-body f, having its lower edge inserted between thecups a and e and held in place by frictional contact with the said cups and a candle 1) contained within the inner cup at, the flame of the said candle being visible through the lantern-body, substantiallyas described.

2. In an illumination-lamp, the combina tion of an outer cup 6, an inner cup a contained Within the said outer cup and provided PHILIP]? ADAM SCHNEIDER.
